Soekarno–Hatta International Airport (CGK) Tangerang, Banten, Indonesia

Soekarno–Hatta International Airport is more than Jakarta’s main aviation gateway—it is the front door to Indonesia’s capital region, connecting the Jabodetabek metropolitan area with destinations across Indonesia and around the world. Located in Tangerang, Banten, the airport operates three principal passenger terminals and is managed by PT Angkasa Pura Indonesia under the InJourney group.

Its distinctive character comes from the way aviation infrastructure meets Indonesian identity: the original terminal architecture incorporates tropical gardens and traditional Indonesian design, giving the airport its memorable “airport in a garden” concept.
